The glory of Durham Cathedral: a triumph of the Middle Ages

Twice a year, at sunrise, the sun light enters the cathedral of Palma (Mallorca, Balearic Islands) in the exact way that its rose window reflects on the opposite wall, right below the other rose window.

This happens on the 2nd of February (feast of Candlemas) and on the 11th of November (Saint Martin), and happens by chance, because the phenomenon was not taken into account when building the cathedral back in the 13th century. On these two days of the year, the Cathedral celebrates the "Festivity of Light" ("Festa de la Llum" in Catalan).

Palma's cathedral has the biggest rose window of all Gothic cathedrals in Europe. It's made of 1,115 stained glass pieces.

Rose windows, or circular rosette windows common in Gothic styles, are the centerpieces and rhe largest of these. The north rose window is 26 feet across in length and over 10,500 pieces of glass were used to construct the west rose window.
